If you are looking for soup that has the wholesome goodness healing power of "Chicken Soup" that spares the bird, this soup is packed with flavor. The parsnips are the secret.

Parsnips are in season fall and winter, and are found along with the carrots, celery, garlic, onions and leek for your recipe except the olive oil and pasta or rice - at guess where? Your local Organic farmer's market vendor. When our farmer no longer has celery, he then has celeriac root in mid winter, so the soup is made with celeriac. Feel free to improvise with what ever vegetabes are available, it's all good.

The parsley is still in our garden (it's early November now) so there is something fom our own garden here.Submitted by: FRENCHYLOEB

Healthy whole grains star in this colorful recipe, which pairs wheat berries — whole wheat kernels — and roasted root vegetables. Enjoy as a side dish for roasted meats or as a light meal on its own.Submitted by: MISSGALLO

From Family Circle's recipe with Maple glazed pork. This is a separation from the pork, and adjusted portion size. It is so good, I want to eat it as a side for anything. I can't have reduced sodium chicken broth, so I substituted with Chicken Bouillon that does not contain Gluten.Submitted by: SUEEDAVIES
